The Hunchback of Notre Dame



Comment :
"In spite of being dubbed the "Man of a Thousand Faces", what sticks in the viewer's memory isn't Chaney's fairly conventional make-up, but rather the way he used his body - his movements and contortions. Bowed under the 72-pound weight of a rubber hump that made it difficult for him to stand up straight, Chaney adopts a weird ape-like crouch, as though his legs were too rickety to support him, but which allows him to scuttle about in a manner frighteningly part-simian and part-arachnoid. Surprisingly eneptly mounted - considering its lavish budget - i.e. many social, religious and sexual abberations which were central to the Hugo novel are missing - and wretchedly directed by Wallace Worsley with a constant flurry of extras milling about, this famous silent film survives solely through Chaney's remarkable performance. Too many horror fans are disappointed, it seems, when they find out that this Victor Hugo story is essentially a historical romance. However, viewers will nevertheless be impressed by Lon Chaney's excellent portrayal of the tragic Quasimodo. For this 1923 extravaganza, it took Universal a year to prepare the enormous sets, a four-month shooting schedule and an incredible cast of 3500 supporting players and extras. Interestingly enough, there were a number of earlier silent versions - the most notable being THE DARLING OF PARIS (1916) - in which Quasimodo won Esmeralda!"
